Baxi Solo Overheat tripping

[dogmangsd]

I have a baxi solo 3 pfl 60 boiler that over heats all the time needing to be reset, it is serviced by british gas who in the 5 or 6 years we have had it have been out so many times they put my service contract up to silly money and want to replace it with a nice one for 3500 !! I am so sick of them and this bloody thing in the kitchen , NO not her the boiler !
I am in Blyth Northumberland can anyone who knows what they are doing get in touch. why the hell it over heats I dont know, Bgas come fiddle run away and it isnt fixed. last time he wanted to power flush the system and charge 600 - 700 for that !

is your pump faulty? the solo relies on a good pump being a low water content boiler,you could have a corroded system and thats the systems fault not the boiler independents will clean it just as well(or better than)bg for much less

Thanks for the reply that was quick, I dont know the pump seems ok , well it buzzes and the like when its working, how would I know if it was the fault

short of replacing difficult,but if its aged and lost its oompph ,this would have a bearing on your problem

They recon of i pay them 3500 it will solve all the problems. So would spending 10k on a new car solve the problems I have with that! this time the boiler just isnt on no lights nothing going on. yes it has been overheating and cutting out after they were last out. but now its just off
